Nagpur Smart City Maps Sewer Lines Through GIS

In an unprecedented move, the Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Ltd (NSSCDCL) has embarked on a revolutionary journey by meticulously mapping sewer lines across 38 'prabhags' within the city using a Geographical Information System (GIS). This groundbreaking GIS mapping initiative has meticulously documented a sprawling 3,216km sewage network, illuminating critical insights for the NSSCDCL.

The colossal endeavor, undertaken in collaboration with Micronet Solutions at a project cost of Rs5 crore, marks a milestone in infrastructure management. Notably, this comprehensive GIS mapping exercise has meticulously cataloged 1.78 lakh chambers integrated into the city's sewer network.

"This GIS mapping venture stands as a pivotal step in enhancing the city's infrastructure management," stated NSSCDCL CEO, Prithviraj BP, emphasizing their commitment to progress. The compiled data will be handed over to the Nagpur Municipal Corporation's (NMC) public health engineering department, facilitating more informed and precise decision-making processes.

Moreover, the GIS mapping accurately identifies the diameters of sewer pipelines, spanning from 100mm to 900mm. NSSCDCL plans to collaborate with NMC to seamlessly integrate the stormwater and water networks into the GIS sewer mapping system.

Zone engineers from the Public Health Engineering (PHE) department will now possess an updated and intricate map of the sewer network. Leveraging GIS technology, they aim to swiftly resolve complaints related to sewer blockages, even down to the household level. Furthermore, any repair work or infrastructure enhancement projects will be systematically updated online on a monthly basis.

This transformative mapping endeavor transcends the city's previous data parameters, which encompassed a mere 1,700km of the sewer network. Previously, identifying issues within sewer lines necessitated laborious multiple-spot digging by the public health engineering team.

The GIS mapping not only streamlines issue identification but also extends its benefits to various utility service companies, enabling accurate location identification of sewer lines across the city. This advancement promises more precise road cutting for civil works, minimizing disruptions.

Zone-wise, the Lakadganj zone boasts the longest sewer network, spanning 484km and accommodating the maximum number of chambers at 27,535. Conversely, Gandhibagh zone possesses the shortest network at 139.95km, accompanied by 11,483 chambers, as per GIS data.

However, concerns raised by sources within PHE regarding escalating complaints of sewer blockages, especially in Laxmi Nagar zone and parts of Hanuman Nagar, Dhantoli, and Gandhibagh zones, highlight the urgency of leveraging GIS for comprehensive and effective infrastructure management.

This GIS-led initiative not only marks a technological leap but also promises a transformative era in efficiently managing urban infrastructure, ensuring a cleaner, more resilient city for the citizens of Nagpur.
